Correspondent Mariana van Zeller was first inspired to pursue a career in journalism while watching TV news in her native Portugal. In this exclusive Vanguard extra, she talks about making her way from Europe to New York City's Columbia University, working side-by-side with her husband, producer Darren Foster, and why people continue to underestimate her. “Vanguard,” airing weekly on Current TV Wednesdays at 10/9c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories. added by: MarianaVanZeller
